This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 22 May 2013 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 14 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 1% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 43 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 351 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 6 numbers (10, 19, 24) with the draw of 7 July 2012 — its closest relative in 351 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (18 May 2013): 9 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 104 — the 8th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 9–10, 19–20. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →20 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 3.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 14% of the jackpot.
